Narrative:

This event was brought to my attention by the crew that I turned the aircraft over to. The crew called me at home to tell me that on their walk around they found two blown tires on the left main truck. The crew told me that the two tires were completely shredded. This really surprised me; as I had no indication on taxi in that there was anything abnormal. The approach and landing was made to runway 04; 1;000 ft ceiling; light rain with winds 100 at 8 KTS. Auto brakes 3 selected. Touchdown was in the first 800 ft. Normal touchdown. As we rolled through runway 04/13 intersection; auto brakes were off; and speed was less than 60 KTS. I applied manual brakes to turn off and felt anti-skid releasing; which surprised me; but had always been told that the braking action out on the pier was poor. Taxiing to gate was uneventful. No pulling. No vibration. No extra power needed to taxi. Two aircraft landed after us and no report of tire debris on runway. Parked at gate. No indication from ground crew that anything was abnormal. Completed checklists; signed logbook and left. Maintenance told crew that the aircraft had a previous anti-skid write-up with tire damage.
